Payment terms before payment chaos.
Create milestone agreements, retainers, split payments, deposits, holdbacks, and timed usage agreements — then release payments through your agency-controlled pay cycle.
Terms that match how agency work is scoped.
Most contractor work isn’t a single flat payment. Capture the shape of the deal up front so releases follow the agreement, not a memory of it.
- Milestone agreements tied to deliverables
- Retainers for ongoing engagements
- Split payments across contributors
- Deposits and upfront releases
- Holdbacks retained until acceptance
- Timed usage agreements for recurring terms
Release payment when the work is accepted.
Each milestone maps to a release that enters your normal approval flow. Nothing pays out on its own without a sign-off.

Divide and defer without spreadsheets.
Split one agreement across contributors, retain holdbacks until acceptance, and record deposits against later releases — every share traceable to the agreement.

- Percentage or fixed-amount splits
- Holdbacks retained until final acceptance
- Deposits recorded against later releases
- Every share is traceable to the agreement
Every agreement leaves a paper trail.
Terms, changes, releases, approvals, and receipts stay connected, so finance can reconstruct any engagement without a scavenger hunt.
- Agreement terms recorded alongside payments
- Changes tracked with who and when
- Releases linked to approvals and receipts
- Structured records for reconciliation
- A durable history for each engagement
Payments still run through your pay cycle.
An agreement never moves money by itself. Releases flow into your agency-controlled pay run, signed by your company Safe, with the same checks and receipts as any other payment.
